- Nashville School Board Denies Four Charter Applications, Introduces New Policies
The Metro Nashville Public Schools board denied four charter school applications due to concerns about their fiscal impact on district schools. The board cited projected funding losses under Tennessee's per-pupil funding formula, with estimates showing cumulative losses exceeding $21 million if the schools opened at full capacity. The decision allows the schools to appeal to the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission.
